It is more than ten years since I last judged wires.I found type extremely mixed.Short upper arms  and steep shoulders were prevelant.Movement was mixed with parallel driving movement in the minority.I did feel hind action was an area of concern.Many toe in or are narrow.Those with incorrect rears and better forehands are unable to complete the stride correctly as rear can't keep up with the front thus an almost rolling gait.This is a KC Breed Watch Point of concern .

I was aware there had been reports of mouth faults but I was pleasantly surprised that dentition was ok in this entry.

I was however delighted with my main winners all demonstrated good driving action ,had first class forehands and super wire temperaments as you would expect from this variety.
